2011 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS ARE REALLY LOW, MAKING IT HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT. RESEARCHING ONLINE LOOKS LIKE MANY HONDA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. HIGH BEAMS ARE FINE, JUST LOW BEAMS.THERE SEEMS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, BUT NOT FOR MY VIN #. ONLY ISSUE IS DRIVING AT NIGHT.

KEEP GETTING NOTICE ABOUT 2ND ROW SEAT FIX. AS I HAVE A HDCP RAMP VAN THERE IS NO 2ND ROW SEAT. HAVE ADVISED HONDA NUMEROUS TIMES.

AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS OPENING BY THEMSELVES, EVEN WHEN DOORS ARE LOCKED. HAPPENED WHEN SITTING IN HOME DRIVEWAY AND PUBLIC PARKING LOT,STATIONARY AT BOTH LOCATIONS. ALSO,STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT,APPLYING BRAKES, ON A CITY ROAD AND AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS UNLOCKED AND LOCKED AGAIN, ON THEIR OWN. UNKNOWN REASONS FOR THESE OCCURRENCES. ALSO WHILE SITTING STATIONARY IN DRIVEWAY, MY VEHICLE STARTED UP WITH NO ONE INSIDE, NO KEY IN IGNITION, AND DOORS LOCKED.

I REPORT AN ISSUE WITH OUR VAN DOOR LAST YEAR THAT I FELT WAS PRETTY SERIOUS. I NEVER HAD A FOLLOWUP ON YOUR END TO THIS ISSUE. REFERENCE NUMBER PROVIDED WAS 10983098. HONDA OFFERED A DISCOUNTED REPAIR BUT I FELT THIS A BIGGER SAFETY ISSUE. I DID NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR.

WHEN BRAKING THE VEHICLE SHAKES AND THE BRAKES VIBRATE TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE FEELS UNSAFE. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUAL PROBLEM. BRAKES HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND WE ARE TOLD THAT THE ROTORS ARE WARPED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS HAS BEEN DONE THREE TIMES AND NOW, AT 96,000 MILES WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT THE BRAKES/ROTORS NEED TO BE REDONE AGAIN. I WROTE TO HONDA IN 2017 AND NEVER RECEIVED A REPLY. THE HONDA DEALER SAYS IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. SUPPOSEDLY A NEWER VERSION OF ROTOR WAS ISSUED AND INSTALLED THE LAST TIME, BUT THE PROBLEM IS BACK. FROM A DRIVER'S PERSPECTIVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA SHOULD MAKE IT RIGHT. THEIR BRAKE COMPONENTS ARE UNDERSIZED OR NOT ENGINEERED PROPERLY FOR THE SIZE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VIBRATION IS NOT FELT ANYTIME THAT THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, BUT MORE SIGNIFICANTLY WITH HIGHER SPEEDS AND QUICKER STOPS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM, ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TAMERON HONDA (LOCATED AT 1675 MONTGOMERY HWY, BIRMINGHAM, AL) WAS CONTACTED AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR BROKE. HAVE BEEN OPENING AND CLOSING MANUALLY JUST FINE. TODAY THE DOOR FELL OFF. IT WAS PARKED IN OUR LOT.

THE CABLE ON BOTH AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS HAVE BROKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED BOTH TIMES. BOTH DOORS DO NOT OPEN AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY NOW. THIS CAN CAUSE A HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY WHERE SMALL CHILDREN (OR ADULTS) ARE IN THE BACK SEATS. THE ONLY WAY IN OR OUT IS THROUGH THE FRONT DRIVER/PASSENGER DOORS OR THE REAR LIFT DOOR. BOTH WAYS INVOLVE CLIMBING OVER SEATS.

TSB #11-033 I?M HAVING THE SAME OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS THAT THEY NOTIFIED OWNERS ABOUT IN THIS BULLETIN NUMBER ABOVE. WHEN I CALLED TO ASK ABOUT THE RECALL THEY INFORM ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT VIN SPECIFIC TO RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE VIN NUMBER HAS TO DO WITH THE ISSUE??? MY VEHICLE IS BURNING OIL AS DESCRIBED IN THE LAWSUIT THAT THE WERE FOUND GUILTY OF BACK IN JULY OF 2011. I GOT MY OIL CHANGED ON 6/19/2011 AND WAS ADDING OIL ON 6/21/2011 AS YOU CAN SEE WITH THE DOCUMENTS PROVIDED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE IS NOT COVER IN THE RECALL. THEY WERE FOUND GUILTY! MY VEHICLE HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM! THEY SHOULD BE LIABLE TO FIX ALL PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH MY HONDA ODYSSEY. CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE ME ANSWERS AS TO WHY THEY ARE NOT? THANK YOU, *TR
